[cobirds] Bird Conservancy of the Rockies - Chatfield Banding Station Report 5/8/21

Our numbers continue to be low.  The most interesting capture today was a female Red-winged Blackbird that we banded in 2013 and had not caught since.  How did she avoid recapture for so many years?   Here's the breakdown of the 9 birds caught for the first time this year today:

House Wren 1

Hermit Thrush 1 (FOS season, at least a week late)

Yellow Warbler 2 new, 1 banded 2019

Common Yellowthroat 1

Spotted Towhee 1

Red-winged Blackbird 1 new, 1 banded 2013

We are open six days per week (closed Tuesdays) through May 30. While some COVID related restrictions remain in place, there are opportunities most mornings for the public to visit, but reservations are required.  Visit https://denveraudubon.org/events/ for more information and to sign-up.  Because each hour-long session is limited to 10 people, we anticipate selling out most mornings, so register soon if you are interested!
